My short answer: I'm an idealist. I don't believe in storytelling in games. I think games should be built around a loose narrative structure, which belongs more to the player. I'm interested in fun games with interesting worlds and characters. I think meaningful goals can be interesting. Games—including open world games—don't have enough pressure.
There are games that are plot heavy and dialogue heavy and people do like them. I'm getting the impression you think this is the incorrect way to make a game.You seem to have a gripe with these sorts of games not being structured the way you would like them to be.

I reckon it will run just as bad/good as the first one. Doubt they'll be pulling any major graphical improvements, since it seemed BOTW was reaching the ceiling of what the switch is capable of.
I suppose it was easy to take the moral high ground when Activision haven't released anything I've had even a passing fancy for in years.
Microsoft on the other hand, have really seemed to be doing solid, buying companies and giving them space and time to complete their games such as Psychonauts 2 and Halo. This news has really taken the wind out of the company for me.
I am conflicted of course. Gamepass represents such a good money proposition, but with all the horrible stuff coming out about Activision and the supposed intention of retaining Bobby Kotik, I wonder if gamepass will be something I stick with for much longer.
Anybody else feeling the drive to cancel their sub?
Nah I still think it's great. In fact I cannot think of any contemporary TV that comes close to the writing of both the Wire (or more the structuring of the plot for the Wire) and the Sopranos.
I seldom watch shows now because of what I consider the low quality of most offerings.
Jason's Deli rekindled my love with the culinary genre. By removing artificial micro transactions, they iterated on my favourite series in a positive way. Definitely helped me get over the disappointing RDR 2.
